Barbara Kean quotes from Gotham

Barbara Kean

[to Gordon] Oh, you need a favor. You must be monumentally screwed.

Barbara Kean

I am tired of sitting at the kids' table. If I'm right, we can have way more than vengeance. We can have it all. We don't need to go to war. All we need to do is start one.

Barbara Kean

You and the ex are infected, huh? I hear Lee wants to remove my pretty little head from my body. Is it weird that kinda makes me like her?

Barbara Kean

You're weak. You're all so damn weak. That's it. That is why Ra's chose me. Because he knew I would see how pitiful you all are. Afraid of change. Afraid to take orders from a woman. Well, listen up: I am the Demon's Head, so you sons-of-bitches better start bowing down right now, or it is gonna get ugly up in here!

Barbara Kean

I am gonna cut your face into a jigsaw puzzle and watch you try to put it back together again.

Barbara Kean

You know, you're turning into quite a beautiful woman.

Selina Kyle

No, I'm not.

Barbara Kean

Remove the dirt, that old hood, those ratty clothes…I bet we find a princess underneath.

Barbara Kean

You're a true beauty. Something you can use to your advantage. Your appearance can be a weapon, as powerful as any knife or gun.

Selina Kyle

Yeah? What good's it done you?

Leslie Thompkins

[on her answering machine] Hi, it's Lee. Go ahead and leave a message.

Barbara Kean

[calling from Arkham Asylum] Hey, girlfriend! Guess who? Sorry I missed you. Bummer, eh? I just wanted to say that... I hope you die screaming, bitch. Bye.

Barbara Kean

So, Lee, how's Jim doing? I hope he's not blaming himself for this Essen-being-killed thing.

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

You are one crazy bitch.

Barbara Kean

So rude. You know, I'm gonna make a prediction. Within a year, Jim and I will be back together. Want to know why? Because we're both the same. We both have a dark side. And one day, we will tell our grandchildren about this man-eating harpy who almost tore us apart! But in the end... love conquered all.

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

[whispering] Please...

Barbara Kean

[leans in eagerly] What was that?

Jerome Valeska

Ah-ah. Hasn't been 10 minutes yet.

Jim Gordon

He's a psychopath, Barbara. He's using you. He's laughing at you. And when he's done with you, you're just a loose end. He'll kill you.

Barbara Kean

You really don't like this Galavan guy, do you?

Jim Gordon

Did I not make myself clear last night?

Barbara Kean

Oh, you did, and I wanted to respect your boundaries. But I was wondering if you knew that this is a women's only club. Plus, its members are of a, shall we say, criminal persuasion. Didn't think so. Which is why I'm here.

Jim Gordon

Let me guess. You're gonna talk to the Lady for me, get the information I need, if I just, what, trust you?

Barbara Kean

No one likes a smarty-pants. What's your plan, then?

Jim Gordon

My plan?

Barbara Kean

Mmm-hmmm.

Jim Gordon

My plan is to stick a gun in the Lady's face and have her beg me not to pull the trigger, until she tells me everything I want to know.

Barbara Kean

The Gordon special. I remember it well.

Jim Gordon

What do you care, after everything that's happened? Let's say you've changed. Why do you care what I think?

Barbara Kean

Because when I woke up from that coma, the first image I saw was your face as you were holding onto me from the church window. You were trying to save me, because in that moment you didn't see the monster. You just saw me. That's what I've been holding on to. If you could just look at me like that again, I'd be okay. I'd make it.

Jim Gordon

You want to be a better person.

Barbara Kean

Yes.

Jim Gordon

That's your choice to make. I can't be there for you. You tried to kill Lee. I can't forgive that. I won't.

Barbara Kean

Jim. I had a dream about you the other night. You were in this horrible accident, and you lost both of your legs, and then I had to push you around in a giant baby carriage.

Good seeing you, Barbara.

Oswald Cobblepot

We have a history, you and I. But if you ever pull a gun on me again, Olga will be cleaning your brains off the floor. She's a real whiz with stains.

Barbara Kean

[smiles] Bye, Pengie.

Barbara Kean

This woman, Isabella. Nygma said she was a librarian, right? Well, who kills a librarian? I mean, what's the motive?

Butch Gilzean

I dunno. Maybe someone had an overdue book and things got out of hand.
